Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of lithium-ion battery anode material technology, and particularly to a calcium ion-doped modified sodium titanate material, its preparation method, anode sheet, and battery. Background Technology

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries have been extensively studied over the past 20 years due to their advantages such as high cycle stability, large capacity, and light weight. Anode materials are a crucial component of lithium-ion batteries, directly affecting their electrochemical performance. However, traditional carbon-based anode materials have consistently suffered from poor safety and high cycling rates, failing to meet the demands of modern society, especially in the electric vehicle field. Other potential-based anode materials, such as silicon-based and tin-based materials, have attracted widespread attention due to their high theoretical capacity. However, the practical application of these anode materials is hindered by the drastic specific volume change during Li insertion / extraction, leading to poor cycle stability. Titanium-based anode materials, especially Li₄Ti₅O₅, are also noteworthy. 12 It has attracted much attention due to its excellent structural stability and high safety. However, in Li4Ti5O 12 The high concentration of lithium found in it increased Li4Ti5O 12 The cost of lithium-ion batteries. Furthermore, a high-voltage platform reduces the overall energy density of the lithium-ion battery.

[0003] Therefore, it is essential to develop novel titanium-based anode materials with low lithium concentration, low voltage plateau, and excellent structural stability. Recently, a novel titanate anode material, Na₂Li₂Ti₆O, was discovered. 14 It has more than Li4Ti5O 12 Lower discharge plateau: Exhibits a low voltage plateau (~1.25V, vs. Li0 / Li+), which can increase the voltage of the full cell when used as the negative electrode. When Na2Li2Ti6O 14 Ti 4+ Completely restored to Ti 3+ It possesses a theoretical specific capacity of 281 mAh / g. Furthermore, since sodium is cheaper than lithium, Na₂Li₂Ti₆O₅... 14 The cost of the base anode material may be lower than that of Li4Ti5O. 12 While lithium sodium titanate is a basic anode material, its poor conductivity, reversible capacity, and cycle stability limit all its properties in high current density applications, thus restricting its practical use.

[0004] Therefore, Na2Li2Ti6O 14The practical application of anode materials remains a challenge because their limited diffusion kinetics and low intrinsic electronic conductivity result in poor rate performance and poor cycling stability at high rates, thus limiting their practical application. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide a calcium ion-doped modified sodium titanate lithium material, its preparation method, a negative electrode, and a battery, to solve the problem of Na2Li2Ti6O 14 Addressing the technical challenges of low intrinsic electronic conductivity and low lithium-ion migration kinetics, this application utilizes Li vacancy doping in lithium sodium titanate to increase its lattice spacing, thereby enabling rapid lithium-ion insertion and extraction. The aim is to provide calcium-doped Na₂Li₂Ti₆O₄. 14 In this application, a modified lithium sodium titanate material with excellent electrochemical performance and excellent cycle stability is prepared by combining the sol-gel method with the high-temperature solid-phase method and doping calcium ions through the improved sol-gel method.

[0006] The first aspect of this application provides a calcium ion-doped modified sodium lithium titanate material, the chemical formula of which is: Na₂Ca x Li 2-x Ti6O 14 , where the range of x is 0≤x≤0.30.

[0007] In some embodiments that may include the above embodiments, the value of x is 0.05, 0.1, or 0.15.

[0008] The second aspect of this application also provides a method for preparing a calcium ion-doped modified sodium titanate lithium material, comprising the following steps:

[0009] Step 1: Weigh the calcium source, lithium source, and sodium source according to the stoichiometric ratio of the chemical formula of the modified sodium lithium titanate material, with the lithium source added in excess by 10%, and weigh a certain amount of complexing agent, dissolve it in an appropriate amount of solvent, perform ultrasonic vibration and stir evenly to obtain solution A.

[0010] Step 2: Weigh a certain amount of titanium source, dissolve it in an appropriate amount of ethanol, stir well, and obtain solution B;

[0011] Step 3: Mix solution A and solution B to obtain solution C;

[0012] Step 4: Stir the solution C until homogeneous and process it into precursor gel D;

[0013] Step 5: Grind the precursor gel D to obtain precursor powder E;

[0014] Step 6: Calcine the precursor powder E under an inert atmosphere, and ball mill the calcined product to obtain calcium ion-doped modified sodium titanate lithium material.

[0015] The excess lithium source is to compensate for the loss of lithium during high-temperature sintering. The role of ultrasonic mixing and homogenization is to crush the insoluble solids in the liquid into finer particles and mix them thoroughly with the surrounding liquid to form an emulsion. Ball milling of the sintered material can reduce the particle size of the modified sodium titanate lithium material, mechanically alloy it, and change the shape of the particles.

[0016] In some embodiments that may include the above embodiments, the specific steps include:

[0017] Step 1: Weigh the calcium source, lithium source, and sodium source according to the stoichiometric ratio of 1:1:1 according to the chemical formula of the modified sodium lithium titanate material, with the lithium source added in excess of 10%, and the calcium source weighed at 5wt%, 10wt%, and 15wt% by mass, respectively; weigh 10wt% citric acid, dissolve it in a mixture of 10ml ethanol and 10ml plasma water, and sonicate the mixture for 30-60 minutes to homogenize the particles. Then stir the mixture on a stirrer for 2 hours to obtain solution A.

[0018] Step 2: Weigh 5 mmol of titanium source, dissolve it in 10-20 mL of ethanol, and heat and stir in a constant temperature stirrer at 80 °C for 20-30 min to obtain solution B;

[0019] Step 3: Slowly add solution A dropwise to solution B and mix them while vigorously stirring solution B to obtain solution C;

[0020] Step 4: Dry the solution C in an oven at 80-100℃ for 8-12 hours until the solvent evaporates, and process it into precursor gel D;

[0021] Step 5: Grind the precursor gel D to obtain precursor powder E;

[0022] Step 6: The precursor powder E is calcined in a tube furnace under an argon atmosphere at a temperature of 600-900℃ for 8-10 hours. The sintered product is then ball-milled in a high-energy vibrating ball mill to obtain calcium ion-doped modified sodium titanate material.

[0023] In some embodiments that may include the above embodiments, the titanium source is tetrabutyl titanate or titanium dioxide.

[0024] In some embodiments that may include the above embodiments, the sodium source is one or more of sodium acetate, sodium chloride, and sodium carbonate.

[0025] In some embodiments that may include the above embodiments, the lithium source is one or more of lithium acetate, lithium carbonate, and lithium hydroxide.

[0026] In some embodiments that may include the above embodiments, the calcium source is one or more of calcium carbonate, calcium acetate, and calcium chloride.

[0027] A third aspect of this application also provides a negative electrode sheet containing the above-described modified lithium sodium titanate material or a modified lithium sodium titanate material prepared by the above-described method.

[0028] The fourth aspect of this application also provides a battery, which includes the above-described negative electrode, and further includes a battery casing, a positive electrode, a separator, and an electrolyte.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of this application have the following beneficial effects:

[0030] 1. In this application, the doping of calcium ions results in uniform particle size, stable and dense structure of the modified sodium lithium titanate material. Due to the larger Ca... 2+ Occupying a smaller Li + The location, and a certain amount of Ti 3+ Ions to Ti 4+ The transition of ions serves as charge compensation. Therefore, as the lattice expands to a certain extent, the expansion channels reduce the obstruction to Li ion diffusion, thereby improving the ionic conductivity of lithium sodium titanate. On the one hand, this can improve the structural stability of lithium sodium titanate, slow down structural changes and capacity decay rates, and improve the cycle life of the battery. On the other hand, the doping of calcium ions in this application can improve the electronic conductivity of lithium sodium titanate.

[0031] 2. The preparation method used in this application is simple, rapid, and uses inexpensive raw materials. First, inexpensive and readily available starting materials are selected, and a precursor gel is obtained using the sol-gel method. After grinding the gel into powder, the precursor powder is calcined in a tube furnace under an argon atmosphere to obtain the product. This synthesis method does not require expensive raw materials, equipment, or complex synthesis conditions, greatly reducing the complexity and cost of the preparation process, and has practical application value.

[0032] 3. This application has prepared a material with excellent electrochemical performance. In electrochemical tests, the material exhibits high discharge specific capacity, low internal resistance and good cycle life, which indicates that the material has potential in lithium-ion battery applications and can meet the requirements of both performance and cycle life.
